Suddenly Opera gx started taking screenshots of web pages, they are not even saved on my PC, what could be causing this?

@retyung92 No idea of what you are talking about.

@leocg just look at the screenshot, these pictures are taken on their own without my participation, every second, without even being saved on my PC. Why is this happening?

@retyung92 When it happens? Unless you are triggering the snapshot tool by chance, it must probably be an extension or a third party app.

@leocg I can assume that this is due to the built-in spyware from Microsoft (since screenshots began to be taken after the update and the appearance of processes that did not exist before).
It's not the extensions' fault. Well, either I caught a virus that is not detected by any antivirus even in safe mode.

@retyung92 I would disable all extensions to check if none are causing the problem.
I would also check system for malware.

@retyung92 When the screenshots are taken and where do you see them?

@leocg Screenshots are taken every second, what I see is captured.
I see them through the built-in opera GX discord.

@retyung92 Maybe a mod is doing it? Or even Discord?

Opera doesn't have a feature to take pictures automatically..

@leocg I turned off all mods and extensions - nothing changed.
Maybe, but then the question arises, why does Discor do this?
Or a third-party program does them itself through the Opera function

@retyung92 You would need to ask Discord.

Anyway, what would be the steps to try ti reproduce the issue?

@leocg I am waiting for answer from Discord.
I don't know really, screenshots just started being taken.

Nothing... They told me that it was not because of them.
